1. I'm not sure how believing in God is relevant to parenting. But moving on.
2. Do you think that parents should stay together if they're unhappy together? Do you think children will benefit from happy or unhappy parents? Do you think parents should stay together if the mother is beaten by her husband? How about if one parent becomes a drunk?
3. Sure. But a peaceful home might require the parents getting a divorce. Your list above doesn't seem to acknowledge that?
4. How are you planing on stopping them? If there's anything we've learned when studying teenagers is that they're going to have sex with one another. The teenagers who stay virgins do so because they failed at getting laid. And then they make up some bullshit song and dance about that this is what they wanted all along. Ehe... no. Teenagers are randy buggers. We can't lock them up, can we?
Isn't it better to accept that teenagers are going to fuck each other and come up with institutions to help mitigate the damage? If we try to prevent teenagers from having sex they're just going to get pregnant and AIDS. Is that better?

The effects of Divorce on Children and Education
Divorce In The Classroom: When Does My Child Need Special Education?
Jessica St. Clair, MS, MFT
Children exposed to divorce are twice as likely to repeat a grade and five times likelier to be expelled or suspended from school, according to the article "Divorce's Toll on Children" by Karl Zinsmeister. In the early months after a divorce, young children especially, are less imaginative, more repetitive and passive watchers. They tend to be more dependent, demanding, unaffectionate and disobedient than children from intact families. They are more afraid of abandonment, loss of love and bodily harm. They carry these problems to school.
John Guidubaldi and Joseph Perry found in their survey of 700 youngsters that intact families on 9 of 30 mental health measures, show among other things, more withdrawal, dependency and inattention, and unhappiness, and less work effort. Divorced students were more likely to abuse drugs, to commit violent acts, to take their own life and to bear children out of wedlock. School personnel have their hands full trying to deal with the psychological and social issues of divorce in the classroom.
According to the National Survey of Children, 15 percent of children living with their mothers without contact with fathers were booted out of school. In Judith Wallerstein's study of the effects of divorce on children, of the middle class sample, 13% of the children had dropped out of school all together. Barely half of Wallersteins' subjects went to college, far less than the 85% average for students in their high schools. Sadly, she concludes that 60% of the divorce children in her study will fail to match the educational achievements of their fathers.
